The Lady is a Stalker

This little elf child was over 200 years old, so the old elf was probably over a thousand years old.  She tried to bow her head to be polite, but the old elf looked back and forth between her and the prince, then dropped the wooden stick he was holding instead of his cane and said with a shocked expression.

 

“You troublemaker! What if they bring a dragon with them? Alas, our village is now ruined! Everything will be destroyed!”

 

“…”

 

The old elf fell to the ground and cried, hitting the ground and saying, ‘Our village is over.’ When she glanced at the crown prince, he averted his eyes as if he was troubled. That expression was so funny that she suppressed the thought of laughing.

The elven god she actually saw was not as sacred as she thought.

 

“What? Kid, don’t keep calling me out. You’re still a thousand years too young.”

 

Goddess? No, let’s not jump to conclusions. The voice was male. Because she had been rude to an elf child, it was difficult to guess the gender. It seemed that even after becoming an adult, the gender could not be determined. She took a step closer to the elven god, who was smoking a new, somewhat familiar cigarette. The Crown Prince panicked and tried to grab her arm, but she was already close to him and was opening her mouth.

 

“Why don’t you recognize this child as an adult? Thanks to this, different races have run rampant and the order of the world has been disrupted. If there is no special reason, please recognize this child as an adult.”

 

“That’s my feeling. What are you, eh? Who are you in the first place?”

 

“I am…”

 

She paused for a moment and thought about it. The only thing worth showing off was her status as the Duke’s daughter, but before God, her status as a noble was meaningless. And it seemed like God was asking about her relationship with the elf child, not her identity.

 

“I am that elf’s fiancé.”

 

“You still say things like that…!”

 

The crown prince who heard her got angry and shouted. Of course, it was a lie to say that she was engaged to an elf. There was no reason for her to marry an elf now. It was just to give her a reason to get involved in this. Even though it was clearly a lie, the crown prince seemed to take what she said at face value. Normally, the crown prince would easily see through lies like this, but for some reason, his eyes seemed to have become blurred. The elf child seemed to have already noticed and stayed still. The crown prince looked at her with a frustrated expression as if to say, ‘I said that, but you didn’t understand.’ Who was the one who didn’t understand right now? Anyway, the elf god who heard her words laughed at her and said.

 

“What if you are that half-elf’s fiancé? It’s no big deal. I couldn’t read his inner thoughts at all, so I thought he was on the same level as me or something great. I have no intention of ever acknowledging that guy, so go back.”

 

She was moved by God’s firm words, so she erased her expression and threatened God in the coldest voice she could muster.

 

“I won’t let you go. It doesn’t matter if you are an elf god or something. I will risk everything I have to lead you to your destruction.”

 

The elf god looked embarrassed at her words. She thought she may have been a bit harsh, but she wanted to quickly resolve the matter and go home. She was trying not to show it, but it was stressful to keep hanging out with the crown prince, and she could hear him swallowing his saliva nervously at her words, which seemed to be two or three words.

 

“Serabi…”

 

The crown prince looked at her with surprised eyes, and the elf child looked at her with sparkling eyes as if he was moved.

 

“This person…”

 

She gently pushed the prince’s back.

 

“…”

 

After hearing what she said, the crown prince suddenly put one hand on his head as if his head hurt. Then he sighed softly. The elf god was glaring at them with eyes burning with anger.

 

“Really? You want to try it with me? How dare a human challenge the realm of God?”

 

She chased the prince, ignoring the elf god’s murderous actions.

 

“Come on, change your eyes to red. Come on. There’s no time to waste your time. You may seem like a low-level god, but your opponent is a god, so you have to fight with all your might from the beginning.”

 

She said, forcefully pushing the crown prince’s back. The elf god’s expression contorted grimly when he heard her say that he was a low-class god. The crown prince said with a puzzled expression.

 

“That’s not what I want…!”

 

“Then are you planning on selling me off to a different race like this?”

 

“If I can’t convince the God here, I have no choice but to marry someone I don’t want for the peace of the empire…”

 

She put on her most glum face and gave pitiful eyes. In this world, the only being who could stand against God was the Munchkin Prince. And perhaps the Crown Prince would not just allow his citizens to be sacrificed in vain. He shouldn’t be left alone.

 

The crown prince looked into her purple eyes without saying a word for a long time. Eventually, he lowered his head, sighing and swearing.

 

“Haha shit!”

 

The prince’s eyes met once again and were filled with red energy. She was just telling him to be a little more serious, and the effect was amazing. As expected, he was a guy who would later be called a saint. Since he was so full of love for his people, he had no worries about the future of the empire. But was that dragon eye originally something that could be adjusted arbitrarily? However, the crown prince, who did not know that fact, turned his face red because of how he took her words.

 

“S-stop it. If you praise me so blatantly, it’s embarrassing for us too.”

 

He spoke like that as if he was scolding her, but he soon spoke while scratching his slightly red cheeks as if embarrassed.

 

“Hmm, hmm. The strongest person on earth… I didn’t know you thought of me like that.”

 

After speaking, the prince turned towards the elf god and a strange aura began to emanate from his whole body.

 

‘Whoa.’

 

The aura, which could only be used by those who have reached the state, was said to change in size and color depending on the caster’s emotions. The blue aura behind the crown prince’s back fluttered loudly and splendidly, as if he wanted to show off. The crown prince spoke to God in a cold voice. It was the last warning.

 

“I don’t like fighting. I’m afraid you can’t give in, right?”

 

“I don’t like it. Why should I do that?”

 

The crown prince lowered his gaze and spoke as if he felt sorry for the God’s answer, which was spat out in an awkward manner.

 

“Is that so? There is no room for negotiation. Since the other party is her, I will go with my heart.”

 

His red eyes glanced at her and he said:

 

“…I can’t look pathetic in front of a guy who believes I’m the strongest on earth.”

 

His red eyes began to glow strangely. The God met the dragon’s eyes and trembled nervously. The match was decided surprisingly easily. The moment the crown prince approached God in an instant and was about to cut off God’s head.

 

“Aaaahhh! I surrender!”

 

A tremendous scream came out from the mouth of the elf god. Seeing that pitiful sight, her faith, which she had never had before, hit rock bottom. The elf child also had a somewhat pitiful expression on his face. He even muttered, ‘I was tortured for something like that…’ Maybe there was no need to provoke the crown prince… Fortunately, the crown prince seemed to have enough reason left to stop the attack just before the God declared surrender. But it’s still too early to feel safe. Having done his work, he slowly turned towards them. The hand that was about to cut off God’s head stopped, but he still had red eyes. She stared at those red eyes. The elf child must have been frightened by the prince’s ferocious appearance, so he secretly hid behind her back.

 

The elf child was holding her collar so tightly that his fingers turned white. Apparently, the child felt it too.

 

“…”

 

When their eyes met, the crown prince’s red pupils dilated greatly. His eyes were calm, but there was enough madness to send goosebumps up her back. Now that she thought about it, she couldn’t think about what happened next. Once the dragon’s magical power begins to run rampant, he would not stop until he destroys everything. A strange sense of war was in the eyes of the crown prince who made eye contact with her. She knew this familiar feeling well. It was a matter of survival. It was a force that was incomparable to when she faced the elf god just before.

 

‘I think he still had some reason left until just now…’

 

It seemed that the trigger that would blow away the prince’s reason was none other than her. She asked as calmly as she could towards the crown prince who was glaring at her with hateful eyes.

 

“Do you want to kill me? “Do you hate me that much?”

 

There was no way the dragon’s magic could be completely controlled with a human body. Now he was completely dominated by the dragon’s power. All that remains was the instinct of the strongest creature on earth to destroy everything.

 

As soon as she finished speaking, he came running at high speed and grabbed her neck. When she saw him up close, his eyes were completely that of a bird of prey. Her heart was pounding like crazy, but for some reason her voice came out as cold as ever.

 

“You can kill me. If it makes you feel more comfortable, then it’s okay.”

 

She gave up trying to resist and relaxed her body. She closed her eyes and hoped that her impending death would be at least a little more comfortable.

 

At that time, the hand holding her neck suddenly relaxed.
